Best HS football players show off skills at Channel 9's ‘Big 22 Media Day'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Channel 9 is hosting 22 of the best high school football players in the Charlotte area for the annual “Big 22 Media Day.”

Channel 9 anchor Phil Orban announced the finalists in May. The players not only excel in the field but also bring their A game in the classroom.

“I’m blessed by God for giving me my ability and talent,” said Harding rising junior Quavaris Crouch. “It’s a really great feeling to be among the best in the Charlotte area."

The players will show off their skills in front of Channel 9’s cameras at the Carolina Panthers’ practice field.

"It’s a reward for how hard I work and for being a leader,” said Vance High rising senior Gerald Nathan Jr. “It’s a real privilege to be named one of the top 22 athletes. The talent here is tough. The best team will win and the best leader out here will win. For us, it's about the team."
